Notes on TranslationThe electronic translation service on the Toronto Catholic District School Board's website is hosted by Google Translate. The quality of the translation will vary in some of the languages offered by Google. Google Translate is a free service and currently offers translation in over 50 languages, although an impressive number, this does not capture all languages or dialects. The basic translation’s goal is to capture the general intention of the original English material.

The Toronto Catholic District School Board is committed to parent, family and community engagement, and it is our hope that by providing this tool on our website that we are making our information more accessible to families whose first language is not English and thereby enabling better engagement in public education.

DearParents/Guardians, Catholic SchoolAdvisoryCouncils,Principals and Staff of the St. Matthias and Our Lady of Guadalupe School Communities,

As you are aware, business cases requesting funding for a new school at St. Matthias were submitted to the Ministry first through School Consolidation Capital on January 27, 2017, and then again through Capital Priorities on September 8, 2017.

The Board is pleased to announce that on March 13, 2018, the Board received official approval for funding of a new 525 pupil place school at St. Matthias.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their patience and participation throughout the Pupil Accommodation Review process and the subsequent request for funding.

We are unable to provide you with specific details around construction at this time however we look forward to your continued involvement throughout the process. We will provide further communication and regular updates to your communities when timelines for design and construction are established.

We look forward to your involvement throughout this process as we work together to meet the needs of the students and families of these communities.
